Remember the days when the details listed on the wedding invitation were the only bits of information that guests received before the big day? In a society that thrives off of technology, those days have faded. Now, an increasing number of Brides and Grooms are keeping their guests updated on all the lastest details of their impending nuptials courtesy of personalized wedding websites. With ceremony details, maps to the reception location, photos of the happy couple, and even a quiz about the couple's relationship, these websites have it all.

Theknot.com offers a free website to all engaged couples. This website is very basic in format, but is a great way to share your proposal story and wedding details with the world. However, if you're a little more tech saavy and want a website that impresses everyone, Wedorama.com is the way to go. You even get your own personal domain that includes your names, such as jenniferandben.com! With a $70 fee, you can host this site for an entire year as your wedding approaches, but since we love all of our brides...we'll let you in on a little secret. If you are registered with theknot.com, type in promotional code KNOTNW, and save 50% off your website!!!!

With the creation of your personalized wedding website, you've found just one more way to showcase your creativity and reveal just how much your wedding is an expression of you and your fiance.

Top 10 Advice on finding the DRESS!

Number One Rule: Be open minded! What you think reminds you of your grandmother's dress on the hanger, may in fact be the dress of your dreams.

Bring someone that knows your style better than their own. I'm sure the groom doesn't want to see you in something that your bestfriend would wear on her wedding day

DON'T PURCHASE YOUR DRESS ONLINE! You miss out on the whole experience.

Don't worry what the groom will think. If he loves you, he will love what you pick.

Have fun! Remember that you have been dreaming of this day since you were five. Don't let the decision put a cloud over your head

If you hate the little bow on the dress, ask the consultant if you can order it without.it. Chances are you can. Keep in mind (contrary to what the magazines always say) there might be a charge for it. It won't lower the cost of the dress.

Price vs. Love: If you love the dress, GO FOR IT! Don't settle for less on what your wearing for your big day. You can always take some of the budget from the centerpieces and so on. No one will know and we won't tell.

Research designers online and make a scrap book of styles that you like. Do keep in mind, that it may all change when you start trying on.

Save the group shopping for the mall. This should be a personal experience that you should only share with one or two.

When you find it, you find it. Don't second guess yourself or you will pick your second favorite.
